In answer to you earlier query....refit using a smear of anti seizure grease (Copperslip or similar) and remember when refitting your new plug (you will be fitting a brand new one won't you !) that the plug threads on the fill and the drain are tapered, so only require nipping up. The taper is barel...

...and don't forget your special ridged washers.....too many postings about CVs coming loose only to find plain/no washers fitted!
